Solution
The correct option is B Estrogen
Estrogen hormone plays a significant role in the development of secondary sexual characters in females like the development of mammary glands (breasts).
Estrogen is secreted from the developing follicle cells of the ovary under the influence of FSH. Estrogen is responsible for the development of mammary duct and deposition of fat in the mammary glands.
Oxytocin hormone is responsible for the release of milk from the mammary glands after childbirth.
LH secreted by the anterior pituitary induces ovulation and also maintains corpus luteum.
